Titanfall 2 News; Single Player Campaign Coming!

Titanfall, one of the best new shooters to hit the market in recent years, is getting a sequel, coming during or before March 2017. This time around, Titanfall will be coming to the Playstation, as well as PC and Xbox. Since confirming another Titanfall game was in the works, Respawn Entertainment have kept mostly quiet. Today, however, Lead Writer Jesse Stern broke that silence, and revealed a couple of tasty details about the next instalment. Chief among them, addressing most critic’s major concern with the first game, Titanfall 2 will have a single player campaign. While the first game lacked a single player mode, it was still very story focused, as far as fully multiplayer games go. With Titanfall 2, Respawn look to expand on the universe they have created, and further detail the war for independence on the frontier’s of space.

“So we are doing our best to deliver a vision of grand global colonial warfare retelling the story of the American Revolution and the American Civil War in space.” Stern revealed to Forbes. “We imagined the next generation of immigrants moving out to the new frontier of an inhabitable planet. Rather than taking a traditional sci-fi approach to that we wanted to look at how that would happen practically, what the ships would look like and with machines that were designed for excavation and construction, demolition and working the land, and what happens when they are turned into instruments of war.”

“What inspires us is the junction of technological advancement with the inevitability of conflict and war and what the next war might look like. In Titanfall 2 there will be a lot of [scenes] where science meets magic, but keeping it grounded and dirty and human and real.”

With a bigger budget to work with, Respawn have plans for a single player campaign for this next title, but to further flesh out the story, a television series is planned alongside the game. We’ll just have to wait for more details, but at least now there’s some confirmation on what’s to come.
